This ain't cool. Looking at Elisa's blog, I can tell she was a struggling young woman with dreams to be happy. She did the best that she could. I'm sorry things ended the way they did. It's just not fair. I would have loved to known her. Like many of the folks who've come here, I too wish I could have been there for her too. It makes me wonder about those good people who are suffering today. We should be better to each other. I'm glad to see that there are so many good people who have come here. Take care everyone. I hope things are peaceful where you are now Elisa.

RIP L.L > There was brilliance, creativity and honesty here. I am sorry that the world lost such a bright individual. Although I did not know her. I feel by skimming some of these blogs that i can sympathize with what she was feeling. I agree that we should take better care of each other and spread more positivity. I would have liked to know her and gave her words of encouragement. truly tragic. RIP LL

I wish I could hug you. Wish I could've been there to smooth that wrinkle in time. We had never met in real life and I only heard of this tragedy so recently, but I wish so much I could tell you that you were not alone, that there is someone there for you. RIP

"On 2/19/2013 at 1000 hours, the decedent was found in a rooftop water tank by a maintenance worker for the hotel....911 was called and Los Angeles Fire Department #9 responded to determine death at 1022 hours"

"On 2/19/2013 at 1249 hours, Officer Sanchez reported this death to our office"

Please observe a moment of prayer for the soul of Elisa Lam - our thoughts are with her family and friends in on this 3rd year anniversary.﻿

the video was too scary,,, she might be suffering with some mental illness,,,, but my question is how she is found dead in tank, She was 22. what made her to act like that in the elevator? is that a paranormal activity ?all the theories go wrong, there is no sufficient evidence to trace this out,only the elevator video and the death report.having these 2 parameters, one think in 1000 ways,,, but at the same time you need to doubt other 999 ways. so better forget this,RIP ELISA !!

For those of you who find her tumblr too much to go through (there are a lot of posts) someone has compiled a selection of some of her most interesting/relevant/strange posts-http://nouvelle-nouveau.blogspot.com

Gratitude is the key to a happy life, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how we have, we are not going to be happy - because we always want something else or something more steadily."- David Steindl Rast -

When I was collage student,I traveled around U.S two times.(It was 1987 and 1988)I was ordinary Japanese student,but pretty depressed.Also,unrelated to depression,I used Japanese guidebook which was made by and for backpackers,Maybe mostly male.(Forgot to say,I'm a female)I ended up pretty scary hotel or Motel several time.I don't know what happened to you,LL,But students tend to choose where to stay budget-wise.And I did too.Now in internet era,We can rely on lots of review,I wish you did before you choose where to stay.and traveling alone,plus in scary place make people depressed(more than usual).(It was hotel Carter in NY-still exists-depressed me most)She is not coming back whatever I say,But I hope other students to do more homework than me,for your own mental state.
